Most day programs can be completed in four years of full-time study (including a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in architecture) and most evening programs can be completed in eight years of part-time study. The Bachelor of Architecture degree requires five years of full-time study, as do the programs that include cooperative education and curricula that lead to two undergraduate majors.
lt;BRgt;lt;BRgt;
The engineering technology program offers an opportunity for those who have an associate's degree, or its equivalent, in an appropriate field of technology to continue their studies at the Bachelor of Science level.
lt;BRgt;lt;BRgt;
In the engineering science program, a student may design his or her own major in consultation with an advisor, selecting from such contemporary areas as environmental science and materials science. Five options are available: accelerated BS/MD and BS/DMD degree programs offered jointly by NJIT and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, a joint BS/DDS degree program with New York University College of Dentistry, a BS/OD program with SUNY College of Optometry, and a new joint BS/MD degree program with St. George's University (Grenada) School of Medicine and St. Michael's Medical Center (Newark, N.J.), all administered by the NJIT Albert Dorman Honors College.
lt;BRgt;lt;BRgt;
For pre-law students, a new accelerated program is available through a joint BS/JD with Rutgers University-Newark School of Law, also administered by the NJIT Honors College.

Indeed, armed with a great reputation, NJIT offers undergrads “quality aca- demic programs” at an “affordable” price. Students here truly appreciate that they are surrounded by a “challenging, intellectual environment” that provides “plenty of advancement for high-achieving students.” Fully embracing its name, NJIT is definitely a “technology-centered school,” and students are quick to praise the strong engineering, math, and architecture programs. Undergrads do warn, “You must be dedicated and serious about learning, because a lot of the courses here are demanding.” Moreover, students here are decidedly mixed when it comes to opinions about their professors. Some undergrads complain, “Classes are very monotonous, as they are straight lectures [with] professors adhering very strongly to the textbook.” However, other students counter, “The professors hold their degrees because of their knowledge of the subject, not because of their teaching skills. Most of the learning comes from your own hard work, and the professors can be a great resource.” Many also appreciate that they are able to “bring real-world experience to class projects.” Further, a handful of undergrads assert, “Most professors are always willing to make time outside of classroom to talk or to explain things further”—and that’s certainly the hallmark of teachers who “are very helpful and want their students to succeed.”More Less
